It's Thursday and another Pals Paper Arts Color Challenge. Love these colors! … Mossy Meadow, Cajun Craze and Soft Suede… CLASSY!
Been thinking about this Challenge for a few days. One of the perks of being part of the "Pals" is that I'm able to see the upcoming Challenge before it goes live. When I first saw these colors I knew exactly how I wanted to present them… by using one of my favorite sketches. Sometimes it just happens, the sketch and colors fit like a "hand in a glove"! So, this one happened to be easy for me… I went with my instinct and enjoyed every step.
- Here's a little "Design Tip"… when you're using a three-color combination, always keep the "Gallon, Quart, Pint" Rule in mind. One color should be your predominant color (your "Gallon"); one will be there, but not take over (your "Quart"), and one will be your accent – just a little (your "Pint").
- So in this design, Soft Suede is my "Gallon", Cajun Craze is my "Quart", and Mossy Meadow is my "Pint".
- Soft Suede and Cajun Craze are pretty close, but the difference is I framed the design with Soft Suede, so it's the front runner.
- It's fun to see it all work as it should.
So, pull out your favorite sketch, use these gorgeous colors and create something classy!
You have already said it best…. “Be you tiful”. I even pinned before finishing the post… Love the elements in this card and the color placement is perfect!!
I love the multiple layers and textures. Great use of these colors. Stunning result!
As I said, you really knocked it out of the park!!Your card is soooo amazing!! And thank you, I you the concept you described about ‘gallon, pint, quart’ all the time but I could never remember the wording for it! I’m so glad you shared that!
Thank you, Shannon. I really enjoy thinking about some of the “Design Rules” when I’m working on a card. Glad I shared it for you.
